102. Beam commissioning of the ESS accelerator: Results and Challenges

Sofia Johannesson (European Spallation Source)

17/08/2026, 11:30

MC3.A04: Proton linac projects

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

In 2025, the beam produced by the European Spallation Source (ESS) accelerator, a 600 m-long superconducting proton machine, first reached the beam dump. This presentation will give an overview over the results achieved during the commissioning rounds in 2025 and 2026, and the challenges remaining for high power and user operation.

38. Status of the LCLS-II-HE Upgrade

Daniel Gonnella (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

17/08/2026, 11:50

MC2.A02: Electron linac projects

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

SLAC is engaged in an upgrade for the LCLS-II SC linac, the LCLS-II-HE project. The presentation should give an update of progress including summary of CM production and testing and schedule for installation and commissioning.

17. Coupled dynamics and transverse matching of intense heavy ion beams

Alec Gonzalez (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams)

17/08/2026, 12:10

MC1.A01: Beam Dynamics, beam simulations, beam transport

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

Ion beams are extracted from the Electron Cyclotron Resonance source with an initial angular momentum. The focusing in the FRIB diver linac is provided by electric and magnetic solenoids and quadrupoles. Understanding the coupled dynamics and proper matching of the beams along the superconducting linac is critical to maintaining high-power, low-loss operation. The errors in the measured 4D rms...

57. Bringing Atomic-Scale X-Ray Science to the Lab: The ASU Compact XFEL

William Graves (Arizona State University)

MC2.A04: FELs

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

Arizona State University is developing a compact, room-sized x-ray free electron laser (CXFEL), a far smaller and more affordable alternative to conventional XFELs. The design combines an X-band linac with precise electron-beam phase-space control and an optical undulator to produce coherent x-rays via inverse Compton scattering. This talk will provide an overview of the project, including the...

136. Devopment of solid-state amplifier for accelerator project based on the new concept and technologies in IMP

Liepeng Sun (Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

MC4.A06: RF power sources and power couplers

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

"As the first institution in China to fully adopt solid-state power sources, the Institute of Modern Physics has developed a new ""standardization"" design concept which has greatly improved the universality and reliability of power source systems. Products from different manufacturers are interchangeable, supporting hot swapping for superconducting systems. The RF structure is simple and...

131. RF System Design of a Polarized, High-Charge Electron Linac for the EIC Pre-Injector

Freddy Severino (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

MC2.A02: Electron linac projects

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

The Electron–Ion Collider (EIC) requires a 750 MeV pre-injector operating at 30 Hz and delivering polarized electron bunch charges of 1 up to 2 nC. The electron source provides longitudinal polarization, whereas the spin must be vertical prior to injection into the ring. To achieve this, we implement a spin rotator at gun energy. The primary challenge is to preserve polarization and maintain a...

41. Status of the HIAF and CiADS Linacs

Teng Tan (Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

MC3.A02: Ion linac projects

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

IMP is constructing two major projects near Huizhou. Both involve the installation of superconducting hadron linacs with equipment that has been developed by IMP over the last decade or more. The presentation should summarize progress on the two projects.
